SUPERTOON Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 No idea why we seem so keen to spend big money on him, he’s bang average and a complete prick, really hope this one doesn’t happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 The article does say Everton may price us out of a move so we can hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Too ugly to fall from the ugly tree and seems a bit of a twat. No way is he worth anything close to £50m. Hope Chelsea gazump us if it's true. Franca sounds decent though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon he’d be class in our press though. Don’t particularly like him but I can see why Howe might. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Think Howe could turn Gordon into a good player personally. He has something, but is never going to look a player in that Everton team under Lampard. It's like judging the likes of Miggy under Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Argh, I really, really dislike Gordon. Seems an utter bell. However, if he's been identified as a player that can improve us, I trust the set up. We're going to be a right horrible team of pricks if we get him. Which I love.

SUPERTOON Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 He’s not a terrible player, but for that money and where we are currently at and aiming to be we should be aiming a lot higher imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 We’re going to get stung on price for Gordon, he’s massively overvalued against his current level. For that type of money, I’d want to see a much higher level of demonstrable quality injected into the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggys First Goal Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 If Eddie wants him… so be it. Not my first choice, or second or third, but maybe Eddie can work his magic and he can be moulded into something special. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I reckon they may sell him for £25m-£30m. May be worth a punt. If Howe can work his magic he becomes a £60m player in 12 months, if not then we’ll probably get our money back from West Ham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I think he’s got a lot of potential but he’s incredibly unlikeable. He also gives away a lot of needless fouls which would enrage me. I don’t think technically his ceiling is anywhere near as high as some players we could get, the main thing he has going for him is a ratty tenacity and a decent all round game. I’m sure they’ve pored over the data and must feel confident about some of his attributes, just feel it’s such a strange direction for us to go in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I know Howe's assembling The Entertainers v2.0, but we signed Beardsley because he was a class player IIRC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 The questions surely being asked of potential incomings would be are they an improvement on what we have? Will they help get us into the Champions League? Will they facilitate us being able to compete in 4 competitions next season, one potentially being the Champions League? Anthony Gordon is none of those imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 He wouldn’t even start for us, that should rule out the signing imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Similar sort of stage of his career as when Milner was sold to Villa? Not much of an end product at the time and when he left the car crash we were becoming, he flourished. (Straw clutching) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I'm pretty confident he would start for us like, but I'm far from convinced it would be a significant upgrade. Word for word how I felt about Pope though, so... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 With any of these I basically trust Howe's judgement more than my own or you lot (nee offence) - if Howe wants to bring Gordon, and we get him, cool. The stuff about him being a prick doesn't bother me, cos it's different when he's your own prick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I do think he's decent though has been underwhelming this season People saying he's overvalued, we don't know how much we'd be paying for him, I'm sure it's something the recruitment team and Howe are looking at And ultimately I'd trust Howe on this one, if he thinks he can turn him into a top player then I'm confident he will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
